Summary

Richard Porritt and Steve Anglesey return to shine a light on another week in politics.

The pair discuss the incredible career of Gavin Williamson, plucky outsider Dido Harding securing the government's top pandemic job, the Beatles' best albums and smuggling ferrets.

They speak to former Foreign Officer adviser Anton Spisak about the state of the EU-UK trade talks.

Matt Withers talks to Inge Kjemtrup, chair of Democrats Abroad UK, about the Democratic National Convention and Joe Biden's vice-presidential pick.

And, of course, another Brexiteer of the Week is crowned.

0:00.0	Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,
0:05.2	I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to
0:10.4	spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month
0:17.2	of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.
0:23.1	That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get
0:28.1	the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.
0:33.9	Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk
0:40.2	forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two
0:47.1	mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to
0:53.5	dip your toe into a whole new world of
0:56.5	journalism.

I'm almost hoping I get unwell so I can use my e-hit card.
1:30.8	And even though we're not taking the dog with us,
1:36.4	I'd quite like to smuggle the dog through so we can use a pet passport and all of these things.
1:38.3	I might even try and drive a truck back.
1:39.4	Who knows?
1:40.6	Anyway.
1:45.0	Did you see, I've just seen some, I think it was James Ball, friend of the new European,
